Objective To evaluate the anti-cervical carcinoma cells effects of oncolytic adenovirus d/1520 and Ad-Endo in vitro,and investigate the influence of d/1520 on the Endostatin expression directed by Ad-Endo in cervical carcinoma cells.Methods After cervical carcinoma cells were infected with d/1520 or/and Ad-Endo,the cytopathic effects (CPE) were observed,and the cytotoxicities were measured by MTT assay.Endestatin concentrations were measured by ELISA.Results d/1520 can replicate in cervical carcinoma cells and induce cytopathie effects; In MTT assay,Ad-Endo hardly inhibited the growth of cervical carcinoma cells,while d/1520 inhibited efficiently the proliferation of cervical cancer cells.And the inhibitory rates in Ad-Endo + d/1520 group were higher than that in d/1520 group.Ad-Endo expressed Endestatin protein in cervical cancer cells,while Endostatin concentrations in Ad-Endo+dl1520 group were much higer than those in Ad-Endo group.Conclusions dl1520 can kill cervical carcinoma cells in vitro,and this eytotoxieity can be enhanced by combining with Ad-Endo.The expression of Endostatin directed by Ad-Endo in cervical cancer cells can be dramatically increased by dl1520.

Objective To explore the correlation between expression of VEGF in colorectal cancer and pathological factors.Methods The expression of VEGF in 99 cases with colorectal cancer was examined by immunohistochemical staining.Results It showed that the expression of VEGF in colorectal cancer was correlated with depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis and was not correlated with tumor region,and histologic type.The frequency of positive cases in patients with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that in patients without lymph node metastasis(P

Objective To investigate the expression of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF),coll agen I and collagen Ⅲ in sacroiliac joint(SIJ)of patients with spondyloarthropathy(SpA).Methods Thirty patients with SpA,including 17 patients with grade Ⅱ saeroiliitis and 13 patients with grade Ⅰ sacroiliitis,were performed on CT guided needie biopsy of SIJ.After sacroiliitis were confirmed by staining with hematoxylin and eosin in sacroiliac joint tissue sample,immunohistochemical assay was performed to determine the expression of CTGF,collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in sacroiliac ioint tissue.Univariate Chi-square test was used for data comparison between multiple groups and t-test was used for two group data comparison.Results Contrast to healthy controls,CTGF were found upexpressed on the cytoplasm of inflammatory cells in pannus and bone marrow of sacroiliac tissue samples of patients with SpA,while collagen I and collagen Ⅲ were found up-expressed in bone,cartilage and ligament tissue[(57.9±42.4)/HP vs(2.7±2.5)/HP P<0.05,0.298±0.080 vs 0.044±0.024 and 28.254±41.165 vs 0.105±0.054.P<0.05 respectively].Conclusion CTGF,collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ are up-expressed in SIJ of SpA patients.CTGF may play an important role in articular cartilage fibrosis and ossification of SpA.

Objective To investigate the expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and Smad signaling in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to explore their roles in the pathogenesis. Methods Fiftythree patients with AS were included in the study. In these 53 cases, 30 patients were performed computed tomography-guided needle biopsy in sacroiliac joint. Serum TGF-β_1 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistological studies were performed with the streptavidin-peroxidase conjugated methods to assess the expression of TGF-β_1, p-smad3 and Smad7 in sacroiliac joint tissue sample.One-way ANOVA, two independent samples t test and kolmogoorov-Simimov test were used to do statistical analysis. Results In 53 cases patients with AS, 20 cases were with high level Erythro-cyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), while those of the other 33 cases were normal. Serum average TGF-β_1level [ (15.9±5.6) ng/ml ], in patients with high level ESR/CRP [(5.4±5.8) ng/ml ] was significantly increased as compared to the controls and patients with normal ESR/CRP [(4.1±3.6) ng/ml] (P<0.05). There was no expression of TGF-β_1 could be detected in the pannus and bone marrow in SI joints tissue of 30 cases with AS, while decreased level of smad7 expression was detected. In addition, p-smad3 expression was found in the nuclear. Conclusion TGF-β_1 signaling may play an important role in the inflammatory erosion and cartilage fibrosis of sacrojlitis in AS.
